Photographer Uses Crazy Photo-Manipulation Skills To Create Dreamlike Scenarios


Photographer Uses Crazy Photo-Manipulation Skills To Create Dreamlike Scenarios

A 21-year-old photographer from Monroe, Louisiana is bringing them even closer to reality with her incredible surreal images.
Savannah Kate Bridges has been photographing since she was 12. At 16, she started her own photography studio called Savannah Kate Photography. Since then, she's been doing various photo shoots for weddings, seniors, children, and families. Her recent hook is fairytale sessions.
Let's go down that rabbit hole!
Currently, Savannah studies Marketing at Louisiana Tech University. However, in her first year of college she had a dream of majoring in Photography.
"I started photographing at 12 so, honestly, much of the process was simply trial and error. My very first year of college I decided to major in Photography and took two photography classes in total but shortly thereafter switched my major to marketing. I'd like to think I am primarily self-taught and learning new things daily," Savannah told A+.
Savannah says she is highly influenced by fairy tales, such as "Alice in Wonderland," "The Wizard of Oz," and "The Lady of Shallot." She finds inspiration in anything that is ethereal, whimsical, and promotes dreaming as a form of distorted reality.
In her photography, Savannah uses heavy photo-manipulation techniques to alter the images and create even the most unrealistic scenarios for her fairy tale sessions.
She started improving her skills while working on personal images, but soon after her technique started to pick up with clients. Savannah says photo manipulation allows her to express the way she sees the world.
"Sometimes, I use it as an escape from reality. I believe that in going through the process of imagining a concept and bringing it to life, I collect pieces of myself," Bridges told A+.

Savannah did this Harry Potter-inspired photograph for a senior who requested a picture with her Harry Potter books and wand. The picture of the before and after shot spread viral on Reddit and Savannah says it might be one of her favorites, too.
According to Savannah, she normally gets specific requests from clients on what theme they want their photo shoot to be. However, she says she always asks them to send a picture and fill out a questionnaire in order to make sure they really "fit" the character.
"I always suggest the ones I think will best suit their look, as well as their personalities. However, I absolutely LOVE when a client gives me complete creative freedom! For example, during this Marie Antoinette session, I (along with some help from my boyfriend and grandmother) built the whole set outdoors," Savannah told A+.
Savannah says she uses photography as a door, or a rabbit hole that gives her a "passageway to a completely unmapped world" and enpowers to design her dreams and future. Savannah's whole photographic style is based on this philosophy.
According to her, "there are no limits to what can be created".

A tribute to Steve Irwin

A tribute to Steve Irwin

Steve Irwin.
 
Steve Irwin , the popular television presenter better known as the 'Crocodile Hunter', has passed away following a marine accident.

The 44-year old was filming an underwater documentary on Monday morning, and police sources in Cairns, north Australia, say he was killed by a stingray barb.

Only the second known Australian fatality from a stingray attack, Irwin seemed to have been stung either through his heart or the left side of his chest, following which he immediately suffered a cardiac arrest. He is survived by wife Terri and their two children, Bindi Sue, 8, and Robert, 3.

Also aiding his global following were his pro-conservation, environmentalist approach and his encyclopaedic knowledge and love of crocodiles.
 
 
 
Australian naturalist and animal-lover Steve Irwin has died after being struck in the chest by a stingray's barb.
 
 
Irwin had been filming a documentary on his boat Croc One in Queensland's Great Barrier Reef on the day of his death. Paramedics were unable to save his life.
 
 
The 44-year-old was famous around the world for handling dangerous animals, including an anaconda during a TV appearance on the Jay Leno Show.
 
 
Mr Irwin's wife Terri was often at his side, to help deal with animals such as the albino Burmese python.
 
 
Father-of-two Mr Irwin grew up on his parents' reptile park and became fascinated with animals after receiving a python as a present on his sixth birthday.
 
 
He was also a passionate conservationist and was pictured with a variety of animals, such as Kimberly the camel in 2003.
 
 
There was outrage in 2004 when Mr Irwin held his one-month-old son near a crocodile during a show. He said his children, including daughter Bindi, had to grow up to be "croc savvy".
 
 
Mr Irwin, who handled dangerous animals such as the taipan snake, turned a small reptile park in Queensland into Australia Zoo. It has now become a major wildlife centre.
 
 
And Mr Irwin emphasised his dedication to saving endangered species by creating the Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation.
 
 
Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said he was "fond" of Mr Irwin and "very, very appreciative" of his work in promoting Australia overseas.
 
 
Fans left flowers at Australia Zoo after news of Mr Irwin's death was confirmed on Monday.

Photos That Show How Different Hospital Food Is From Country To Country

Photos That Show How Different Hospital Food Is From Country To Country

Every culture has so many unique traits and characteristics it would be impossible to keep track of all of them. Every part of the world is so rich with its own traditions—it's what makes travel so exciting!
 
One of the most fun areas to explore in these different cultures is food. While many people travel around and sample the best cuisine from the top restaurants all over the world, the fact is, there are many people who will never have the opportunity to taste that kind of cuisine.
 
One way to measure a culture's food, which we find especially telling, is to look at the types of food that they serve in their hospitals. We've been able to gather some samples of the various types of hospital meals from all over the world. Which country would YOU rather visit a hospital in?

Masalah gangguan bekalan air di lembah Klang awal tahun ini membuatkan tercari-cari akan jalan penyelesaiannya. Ia menunjukkan betapa kita bergantung kepada teknologi.
